SNDP Yogam microfinance scam: Kerala HC records ‘extreme displeasure’ at delay by Home dept. in complying with orders
Court criticises Home dept. delay in forwarding the file on sanctioning prosecution in the SNDP Yogam microfinance scam to the Additional Chief Secretary, Backward Classes Welfare department
The Kerala High Court has expressed "extreme displeasure" at the Home department's delay in forwarding the file pertaining to the sanction of prosecution in the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam microfinance scam to the Additional Chief Secretary, Backward Classes Welfare department. Justice A. Badharudeen criticized the Home department's reluctance as "akin to hesitation to comply with the order of this court."
The court had directed the personal appearance of the Additional Chief Secretary to explain the delay in deciding on the prosecution of an accused BCWD official in the microfinance case. The prosecution sanction was sought in cases related to the alleged misappropriation of loans disbursed between 2003 and 2014.
